Depending on what they mean by "stop the war" in gaza, if they mean the current hostilities (which, yeah it's what she probably meant) or end the conflict in its entirety, that could be the biggest God damn ask I've ever heard.

All it would take is threatening an arms embargo. Presidents have stopped Israel via a single phone call before, and they need our billions of dollars worth of bombs to continue. Don't act like we're powerless small beans here.

Worst case, they keep going but not on our dime and not with our support.

Particularly since the US is not one of the parties at war.
